Aloha,
How about a mini rally if it doesn't work out for those of us that have never been to Hawaii??? :biggrin

Mary Jo, I'll definitely put something together and determine how much interest there is in an Hawaiian FGT Rally. In my discussions with many Forum members, there appears to be quite a few of you.
Here's my post from yesterday in case you missed it: "Since last year's Rally II, some of you may recall my promotion of Hawaii for, at least, a mini-Rally. Upon my return to the islands, I've met with the owner of the company that flew my FGT to LAX and back. I'm working with her on a special group rate for you all (and also discussed our Le Mans trip for 2010). Alternatively, there are a couple of good shipping options as well and can work on a group rate for that.
We now have a Superferry that boogies between Oahu and Maui. Upon my return from Japan, we'll be joining about 30 - 40 other exotics from both islands this weekend on Maui. I'll try to remember to take some pix so all of you can see what it's like. Next year, another Superferry will be placed into service which will include the Big Island of Hawaii and possibly Kauai. This is the first time in the history of the isles that we're able to drive on and off, it's a short 3 hours between Oahu and Maui, and it's breathtaking scenery.
The other islands have some tracks but Hawaii Raceway Park has been closed. There is a movement underway to get another track built on Oahu; meanwhile, I understand the Aloha Stadium parking lot is used by the SCCA."
